The entry for Dursley and Berkeley, which also covered Cambridge, Uley and Newport, gave a comprehensive listing of the many trades people in the area together with a good gazetteer of what the town was like at that time. The entry for Dursley and Berkeley is found on pages 105-116. This transcription was carried out by Andrew Barton of Dursley in 2005. All punctuation and spelling of the original is retained. In addition the basic layout of the original work has been kept, although page breaks are likely to have fallen in different places.

July 2016 Acknowledgements This Community Design Statement (CDS) has been prepared on behalf of the parishes of Uley and Owlpen by a small sub-committee who have worked to produce what we hope will be an informative and useful document. If it is of value, this will be in large part due to the assistance of many people who have given their time and expertise to help us. Stroud District Council (SDC) and Gloucestershire Rural Community Council (GRCC) have given invaluable help towards the production of this document. Particular thanks must go to Conrad Moore of SDC Planning Policy Department for his advice and careful reviews of the evolving drafts of this report; thanks also to Natalie Whalley for her advice and to Vince Warwick for the provision of excellent maps. Thanks are due to Marilyn Cox of GRCC for early advice on the scope of the CDS and techniques for gathering the required background information. We are grateful to all those parishioners who took the time and trouble to complete the CDS Questionnaire at the end of 2014, which provided valuable input to the report. In this respect we are also indebted to the help given by Uley Community Stores both for the provision of gift vouchers to encourage participation in the survey and to collect hardcopy returns of the Questionnaire.

    ISSUE 269 ON THE EDGE FEBRUARY 2021 Alison’s Tree-mendous Birthday Challenge In celebration and gratitude for 70 wonderful years of family, friendship, love and life on our awesome planet, (over half of which I realise have been spent in North Nibley), I have set myself a birthday challenge. The challenge is to encourage the planting of trees; specifically 700 in North Nibley Parish in the next 12 months and also in the wider world. An initial post on the North Nibley Community Facebook page generated an encouraging response, including offers of various saplings, which have now been directed to good homes, where I hope they will grow and flourish. I plan to create a record, so if you do choose to join in, let me know what you do and I will add you and your contribution to the Roll of Honour! To date some 40 trees have been recently planted in Nibley including 30 hazel saplings, an oak, apples, cherries , plums and a liquidambar. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the environmental crisis, but we can all make an individual contribution in some way…. And although you can count the seeds in an apple, you can never know how many apples will grow from those seeds……Let’s get planting.

There are a number of ways you can support this challenge - see back Thank you, Dr. Edward Jenner 2021 is the year of hope.

When recalling his life in the coun- tryside, he felt that ‘there wasn’t much to do in the evenings ::: at least not here’. Drawing upon evidence from personal accounts of growing up in the south-west of England in the early twentieth century, this article examines memories of youth in the countryside, with a particular focus on the leisure lives of young people and their experiences of rural space and place. In addition to adding to our knowledge on the lives of rural youth, this study also provides new insights into the complex relationship between people and their environment, and has implications for our understandings of the early formation of a distinct youthful identity in England. The countryside was not simply a backdrop in these recollections; rather, it was for- mative in how those that grew up in rural communities understood their experience of being young. Introduction Stan was born in 1911 in a small village near the north Somerset coast, and grew up in what he described as a ‘typical country cottage’. He felt that ‘there wasn’t all that much to do in the eve- nings’, adding ‘there were no such things as cinemas being opened, for instance, and dance halls and other entertainments, at least not here’.1 Harry, who grew up in Uley, Gloucestershire, spent his childhood exploring the fields and lanes of the village and surrounding countryside, but also remembered that ‘entertainment in rural areas was sparse, except self-created jokes and fun’.
